Lyrics

Suzanne

Suzanne comes home. She takes a load off her feet.
She's sitting there thinking of something sweet to eat.
Tired of living in this great big house alone.
Billy Thatcher is sitting there at the bar.
So far, he's been talking about his 20 thousand dollar car,
anything he can to feel complete.
But we don't want to change who we are.
No, we don't even want to even talk about it.
We don't want to change who we are.
No, we don't even want to think about it.

So much talk about the politics,
Yet so little work, you know, it makes me sick.
Just sit back down in your chair and say "My friend God Bless"
Meanwhile this clock's been ticking on by,
and I've been counting my thousands of reasons why.
Anything I can to make my dreams stick.

But we don't want to change who we are.
No, we don't even want to even talk about it.
We don't want to change who we are.
No, we don't even want to think about it.

Lyrics by JJ Brown

Miracle Worker

I've been the one who's been standing,
On the edge.
And you've been the one who's been wondering,
Inside my head.

You call yourself a miracle worker.
You call yourself a friend.
I'm just a dreamer baby,
tell me when we begin,..
To live.

Round and Round and Round we go.
Round and Round and Round we go.

These are my dreams darlin.
This is all I know.
This is the world that I live in.
I can will never let go.

You call yourself a miracle worker.
You call yourself a friend.
Your still a dreamer baby,
tell me when we begin,..
To live.

Round and Round and Round we go.
Round and Round and Round we go.

You call yourself a miracle worker.
You call yourself a friend.
We're still dreamers baby,
tell me when you'll begin,..

To love, love, love me darlin,
Set the world on fire.
Change has been coming baby,
For a while.

Lyrics by JJ Brown

Can't Fool Me

I'm watching the rain poor down.
I can hear my heart drown.
All I wanted so bad, I covered it all up with lies.
And as the puddles fill up the ground,
I fall in love with the sound.
It remminds me of your voice,
Telling me that I have a choice.

But I'm afraid to forget.
I'm afraid to try.
I don't want to live.
But I'm so afraid to die.
You're afraid to forgive,
So afraid to try.
You won't let us live,
But I won't let us die.

Just hold me a while,
As I burn all of our fears.
I won't give into denial,
But I'll give into tears.
Just touch my face,
And I'll kiss your eyes.
Just to think we found this place,
And built it for both you and I.

But I'm afraid to forget.
I'm afraid to try.
I don't want to live.
But I'm so afraid to die.
You're afraid to forgive,
So afraid to try.
You won't let us live,
But I won't let us die.

Lyrics by JJ Brown

For So Long

I walked into that restaraunt,
Looking for a place to rest.
I'd like to sit in smoking,
And burn this load off my chest.
There she came up slowly,
With a smile upon her face.
How can I help you mister?
You look so out of place!

I said,.. "I've been waiting,,.... For so long,.. For so long."

I'd like to take you dancing out on the oceanside.
I'd like to see you happy living a simple life.
I'd like to see you smile like this every single day.
So tell me love,.. Can we run away?

I started to think that I was lost,
All the way back home.
And I was starting to think,
That I would have to live my life alone.
"I don't know about you mister" She said,
"But I really don't like to date. I've been let down so many times,
I'm afraid that I might break."

I said,.."But I've been waiting,.. For so long,,.. For so long.

I'd like to take you dancing out on the oceanside.
I'd like to see you happy living a simple life.
I'd like to see you smile like this every single day.
So tell me love,.. Can we run away?

Can we run, run, run, run away?
Run, run, run, get out of this place.
Can we run, run, run, run away?
Run, run, run, get out of this place.

Lyrics by JJ Brown

Somethings

I like yellow, you love blue,
and your eyes, they always tell the truth.
I like to get a rise out of you.
Sometimes you look just like the morning sunshine.

I'm a dreamer, I can't see tomorrow's way.
You want future, You want it paved today.
So, I'll pave you the future, from what I can tell.
It's always you and me love cause together we fell.

Somethings won't ever change.
You and I remain the same.
Caught up in our own way,
Living for today.

You like to be loved by everyone.
Sometimes I like to hide even from the sun.
But when we're together love our hearts,.. how they melt,
Into one love that we both feel cause,..

Somethings won't ever change.
You and I remain the same.
Caught up in our own way,
Living for today.

Lyrics by JJ Brown

The World Is Caving In Have a listen,.....

It’s getting harder and harder everyday my love

To make your world go round and round when your smile’s all on the ground

Now you’ve got your problems baby. Oh, but Lord knows I’ve got mine.

It’s just a fatal attraction, all these lovers of mine.

It’s like we’re chasing shadows, dancing on playgrounds of dreams.

I think the world is caving in. I think it’s going to fall on me.

Tell me in the end, will you love me?

It’s time to be honest now. Maybe I’m just a little bit confused.

Are you running on empty? Or am I just being used?

You know, my dreams are flying like kites in your big sky my love.

There aint no use in denying these things.

That my fingers are tired and my heart is heavy over these.

I think the world is caving in. I think it’s going to fall on me.

Tell me in the end, will you love me?

I think the world is caving in. I think it’s going to fall on me.

Tell me in the end, will you love me?

Will you love me love?

I know your angry and I know your waiting for me to save you.

Oh my love everything has come crashing down.

When will you love me?

I think the world is caving in. I think it’s going to fall on me.

Tell me in the end, will you love me?

I think the world is caving in. I think it’s going to fall on me.

Tell me in the end, will you love, love, love me?
